  • What's your harmless/low-stakes conspiracy theory?

  • Radon is fake

  • Ola's Roadster e-motorcycles deliver over 120 mph for less than $3,000

  • I find these types of PRs pretty much pure hype when they are expecting to start delivering end of 2026. I get sick and tired of these pre orders for things that will likely never show up as if this company has done some amazing engineering and brought it to market.

  • Any suggestions for cheap but decent laptops for coding?

  • The Intel ones are quite a bit easier, but still not as easy as a PC. You need to disable some FW security settings to allow for a non Apple kernel to boot.

    Defending against the Attack of the Clone[d website]s!

  • What hobby do you have that no one else in your family shares?

  • Finally cracked the 100mi!

  • I was eating wheat thins and Oreos on the trail, broth and ramen noodles in aid stations. I was not a fast finisher, came in 31st in 30.5hr.

    The biggest small thing is skin care. On a short race you can manage a little chaffing or a hot spot, for longer races taking the 3min to Vaseline or clean whatever is rubbing before it turns bloody is worth it

    I actually didn't sleep too well because my legs aches and I had an early flight home, maybe 7hr, don't remember any dreams.

  • Finally cracked the 100mi!

  • The winner finished in 19 ish hrs, I was at 30.5. The first 40 mi were easy to keep a pace for around 24hr, but then as the legs got tighter, the weather cooler and wetter I couldn't keep the pace up and had to walk the up hills.

  • Finally cracked the 100mi!

  • Thank you! I had a timer to eat something every 45 min, no sleep which was tough towards the end. It's very different from a marathon, you're going slower and it's a lot more about keeping consistent with eating and caring for small things early. This was late in the season so cold and wet!

  • What do you like about the vehicle you drive and would you have changed anythin about it?

  • Almost the same, but the RAV4 Prime plug-in hybrid. 50mi electric range, AWD, we almost never have to fill it and there's free slow chargers in our town!

  • What cheap tool/gadget do you use that greatly improves your daily life?

  • Pretty niche, but a citrus squeezer. I cook a lot of Asian food and it's much better to put half a lime in the squeezer at a time than try and hand squeeze the juice out.

  • a want to buy a tablet to take notes at school

  • Supernote is the alternative I went with. They have a pretty responsive dev team and the cloud integration is optional, you can push stuff over the local WiFi network.

  • a want to buy a tablet to take notes at school

  • I returned my Remarkable 2 after a couple of days for a Supernote. Can do local network file transfer, and wifi screen sharing.

  • What do you think is the most entertaining wikipedia article?

  • How's your daily commute?

  • It weighs about 150lbs, I don't go max speed on windy days, but it's a nice ride

  • How's your daily commute?

  • How's your daily commute?

  • I work mostly from home, so no commute. I do pay for 2 days/wk at the co-working space either 7 or 30mi away (so 15-35min). I have an electric scooter that goes 65mph and an incredible view on my commute (see attached from Tuesday's drive), so I enjoy it and the chance to be social with the people at the cowork space.

    Dog in silly hat rule

  • What item did you "buy for life?"

  • How do you like your carbon steel pans? I got one and despite following all the seasoning instructions it never releases food easily so I don't use it very often.

  • What item did you "buy for life?"

  • I've had mine for almost 15 yr, same as you, still works like it's new. I also have a Benchmade knife that I carry all the time that's unmarred by time.

  • What item did you "buy for life?"

  • We got a Baby Bjorn carrier 2nd hand, and it'll certainly go to another family, and another, and another...

  • Am I okay without a VPN on public networks if I use HTTPS?

  • This is pretty misleading due to its brevity, an attacker on the same network can determine what website you're going to but not the content being exchanged. A VPN moves the threat of having your browsing destination determined to the VPN provider from the local network.

    That said, modern WiFi encryption does prevent other devices on the network from eavesdropping, so the attacker would have to employ a more involved attack (e.g. ARP spoofing) in order to even see the destinations.
